Installing, Removing, and Replacing
file:///T|/htdocs/stor-sys/ML6000/en/html/ch08.htm[9/17/2012 1:50:35 PM]
If cleaning slots are affected and all cleaning media has been exported from the module you are removing or replacing,
reduce or delete the cleaning slots so that cleaning slots are no longer configured within the module you are removing
or replacing. You can designate new cleaning slots after the module has been removed or replaced. See
Configuring
Cleaning Slots.
4 If the module you are removing or replacing contains tape drives, make sure that none of the drives have media
mounted. See
Unloading Tape Drives.
5 If the module you are removing or replacing contains I/E slots, remove all media from the affected I/E slots and store
them separately for each partition so you can import them back into the same partition once the module removal or
replacement is complete.
6 If one or more partitions reference any storage slots within the module you are removing or replacing, export all tape
cartridges from the affected partitions and keep the exported cartridges separated by partition, so you can import
them back into the same partition once the module removal or replacement is complete. See
Exporting Media.
Caution: The library will not be able to locate tape cartridges that are removed from one partition and returned
to a different partition. The tape cartridges must be returned to the same partition from which they were
removed.
7 If a partition references storage slots within the module you are removing or replacing, delete such partition. You can
create new partitions after modules have been removed or replaced. See
Working With Partitions.
Note: If the last elements of a partition reside in the module you are removing or replacing, you may be able to
modify the partition instead of deleting it. In that case, you would 1) export those tape cartridges that reside in
the module you are removing or replacing, and 2) modify the partition, instead of deleting it, so that the
partition no longer references any storage or drive elements within the module you are removing or replacing.
See
Modifying Partitions.
For example, in
Figure 19, after exporting all affected tape cartridges from the module you are removing, the
cleaning slots are deleted, then Library_c is completely deleted, and Library_b is modified to reduce its storage
slot count by one, as this deletes the storage slot reference in the 9U Library Expansion Module. No storage
element modifications are required for Library_a.
